Last week, Nevada became the 14th state to express its intent
to opt-in to the FirstNet-AT&T plan. The US Virgin Islands remains the only
territory to have accepted the plan (Vol. XIV, Issue 32). Verizon executives
announced at the APCO Annual Conference and Exhibition their plan to build a
dedicated public-safety LTE core network and offer priority service and preemption
to public safety customers. Verizon is looking to establish a viable
alternative to FirstNet’s nationwide public safety broadband network being
built and maintained by AT&T. Verizon’s senior vice president, Mike
Maiorana stated the company’s core public safety network will operate
separately from their commercial core but will still have access to Verizon’s
“extensive” 4G LTE nationwide network. It has also been reported in the trade
press that Verizon will respond to Request for Proposals released by individual
states looking for an alternative to the FirstNet/AT&T plan.
